Wednesday, at the Echo of One tarot chat, Miss Michele, Serenity, and I were discussing the Law of Attraction (LOA). Now, I had heard of this system before, where we draw positive energy into our lives via our positive thoughts and attitudes. I was a little curious, and a little confused about how it worked.
Then I ran across a Life Coach who was willing to walk me through the process, step by step. I’m just in the groundworks of this new project, and I wanted to see how all of this positive thinking would help me in my life. So I did a quick Past, Present, Future spread with my trusty Gilded Tarot to get a quick overview of the situation.
Past: Five of Cups
This is one of the things I love about the tarot: sometimes, it is painfully obvious in its answers! In this scene, an older man with long, raven black hair is kneeling in a field, his head resting against his hands. There are three toppled cups in front of him, and two glowing golden cups behind. Further in the background is a tree and two bushes, and two black birds flying against the orange sunset.
This shows the despair that my life has been wrapped up in previously. I have faced depression and hardships, and in the LOA, it is (apparently) best to dismiss all the negative thoughts from the past, and focus on a bright future. Personally, I have a very hard time letting go of the past influences. This card reminds me that there is more to life than this – after all, there are five more cards to go!
Present: Three of Cups
I love the beauty and joy of this three of cups! In a golden pool of water, one cups stands, overflowing from the two other cups pouring their riches into it. Above the cups are three women, dressed in sheer greens, reds, and blues. In one hand, each of the women have glowing orbs of light. On the other wrist, they each have green and red ribbons tied and flowing in the breeze.
In the Present, the three of cups shows that I have a lot to celebrate right now! I have great family and friends, and their support will help me even more. It signifies joy, abundance, and spending time with those I love. Along with the LOA, surrounding myself with positive people will definitely help me out.
Future: Ten of Pentacles
This one showed up in last Friday’s post! The field mouse sitting atop the treasure, while the turtle reaps a portion of the rewards. Today, however, I am more drawn to the six glowing pentacles within the treasure chest. This symbolizes the riches that are within reach, that are mine by right. Obviously, since no one can have all the riches of the world, we only need worry about our portion in life.
I find this card extremely funny in the Future position! One of the things I’ve heard most frequently about the LOA is that money can be drawn to you by your positive thinking. While I am not completely convinced of this possibility, I am also not one to rule it out. I possess a dose of healthy skepticism with a willingness to try anything. So seeing the bountiful ten of pentacles here makes me think that I am on the right track, finding what is rightfully mine for this life.
What do you think? Any insights on the Law of Attraction? Overall, these cards look like an exact duplication of the steps of LOA to me!
